Apologises for the site being down yesterday.

However, indications are this was a deliberate attack to bring not606 down.

Please bear in mind that big organisations spend over 100k a year to protect from such attacks. We are a social network site that enables us as a community to share a passion of football and the site owner could never imaginably afford such costs.

It's a big problem guys and it's one in which they have me defeated - if they want me defeated. The site has been attacked several times tonight from thousands of different connections (proper DDOS) - and quite frankly we are far too small an organisation to do anything about it. Professionally, I work for a company now who's whole business is online, and we spend about 100k per year on similar protection to prevent similar attacks - which of course not606 could never afford for this site.

I'm lost and disheartened at this stage, but I'm still trying to find a solution.

So why attack us and not other sites. We have nearly 16,000 members, with a record of 3,438 of those members on-line at one time, so maybe jealousy.

All I can ask is you please stay with us, while Mick our site owner attempts to overcome our cyber attackers. They spoilt our day yesterday (Saturday) but maybe for Gillingham fans that was not such a bad thing.
